The Saudis, it'll be one big happy Wahabi family.

Sky - He's returning to Ankara and doesn't believe the coup will be successful. Asking his supporters to take to the streets.
Aye, people are blinded in their hatred for this. That's what hatred does, it makes them wash over their rational minds for that.
Aye, they've all be taken over by the military
How do we know Erdogan didn't defraud the elections?
Welcome to Chaos.
Internet being systematically blocked in Turkey.
No it can't be. Certainly more so than a military coup though.
Shit sorry mate. I read it as she went in one week. Where about's is she?
Why are the military so pissed With him?
Ah right lads, message me if the world goes to shit. It already is, but can't get any worse right? I'll see what the latest is in the morning
Gazza will be along soon with the fishing rods at this rate.
Turkey isn't a properly functioning democracy. Anybody who tries to tell me that it is can swivel. I've lived there, I've seen it, and I left because of how shit the situation was.
What do you think the American militarys response should be if trump wins the presidency?
Sky - State broadcaster TRT gone off air now.
JUST IN: NBC reporting that Erdogan has requested asylum in Germany
Portugal had a revolution in 1974 and USA had no idea but USSR was already involved, the revolution started because the military wanted more money but they had no idea the communists already had infiltrated the army.
Screw your "democracy" if it means waging war against minorities in the country. Erdogan had to be stopped.
Only problem is I have no idea if the military will be any better. But just because Erdogan was elected doesn't mean he doesn't have to be stopped. Democracy is NOT just about a majority.
Prove to me he did
watching this guy on Sky broadcasting from the Centre of Instanbul and it does not look very safe one bit , he has been told to stop and he just carries on, he is a braver man than me.
Now I understand why he let all the migrants go through.....JUST IN: NBC reporting that Erdogan has requested asylum in Germany
Yep, got a lot of admiration for journalists in such circumstances.
Yeah I'd say so, especially if they're securing the nuke sites. No way the military would go near those without warning the US first, although I'd expect the US to feign ignorance and concern at first.
To rescue this, Erdogan needs to send on Nick Powell.
Apparently Erdogan has called for his supporters to go to the squares and airports. Doing that could lead to a bloodbath if you ask me.
He did, I saw with my eyes, prove to me if I'm lying.
because he is all but a dictator and is also trying to remove the secular pillars of Turkeys state
He's shitting over what they see as their role, maintaining secularism/Ataturk's reforms.
Are you having a laugh? I'll tell you he did. If you don't believe me, I assure you, you're wrong.
Democracy or no, i cannot help but schadenfreude.
not really appropriate to laugh but I can see what you mean.
Yep, sounds more like a desperate man trying to cling onto power by any means necessary as opposed to a ruler with any semblance of control remaining.
Tancredi live tweeting this (and getting plenty of coverage).
Incredible.
Incredible.
Thats amazingly strong evidence you've presented
Support their commander in chief, and ensure no break of peaceful handovers of power that have occurred for over 200 years
Our constitution is different from Turkey's tho.
You literally don't know anything about Turkey. I've lived there, and I've witnessed it all happening. Stop talking out of your ass.
NBC news is saying president Recep as been denied entrance and is seeking asylum in Germany,. Speculation.
